Klay Thompson drops his first 30 since 2019

It has been a month since Klay Thompson returned to action. It was a long 2.5-year break, with two consecutive serious injuries. Klay fought through them, and made his comeback, and he’s back in full force now.

Tonight, he recorded his first 30-point game since his return. The last 30-point game he had, was the game against the Raptors when he got injured.

Klay exploded in the 4th quarter, saving the day and preventing a 3rd straight loss for the Warriors.

With Klay Thompson back, Stephen Curry doesn’t have to be the only one to carry the team’s load in crunch time. This makes the Warriors’ offense much scarier, and the league should keep a lookout for the same.
